The second generation of the Wiser Energy System, an integrated monitoring system, provides insights into homeowners' activity and energy use. Through a new partnership with Sense, whose intelligent home energy technology interprets the power usage and activity of devices in the home, Wiser Energy provides real-time, easy-to-understand, actionable data to help homeowners make confident energy management decisions.
- Give their home a voice – Homeowners can track the activities of individual devices in the home and set custom alerts to notify them when something turns on/off, or if anything unusual is happening.
- Enable aging in place – Simplify daily, independent life for an aging population while providing peace of mind to loved ones and caretakers that electrical systems and appliances are working safely.
- Optimize solar installations – With hundreds of thousands of new-construction solar builds in California by 2020, homeowners can rest assured they're maximizing the return on their solar investments with real-time solar monitoring capabilities.
The Easergy P3 system and arc flash protection relay is designed to protect both equipment and end users. This protection will trip a circuit breaker when a fault is detected and is designed to save operational time and limit equipment damage with state-of-the-art arc flash system protection. The Easergy P3 is a major step forward in Medium Voltage equipment protection and control devices. Easergy P3 is simple to integrate and operate for panel builders and system integrators. It makes every stage of the project significantly faster, from off-the-shelf product selection, to installation and configuration.
